Summary/Abstract: This article aims to offer an insight into the development of the narrative in Spain and England during the second half of the nineteenth century, by comparing the approach to the theme of religion-sin in The Scandal (1875) by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón and The Moonstone (1868) by William Wilkie Collins. The paper relates this theme to the narrative ensemble of both novels and other binding elements between the two works.
